                                                A Pvaishnavi Blog Review There are some movies that don’t just entertain us — they sit in our hearts for a while, making us rethink strength, loyalty, and the journey we call life. Mufasa: The Lion King is one of those movies. As someone who loves nature, animals, and emotional learning, this film felt like a warm reminder of how every soul has a path, and every path has its purpose. 🌅 The Story That Feels Like a Sunrise This movie takes us back into Mufasa’s early life — a time before he was the wise, powerful king we all knew. What touched me the most was how the story shows that even the strongest ones start from uncertainty . Mufasa wasn’t born into royalty. He wasn’t destined for the throne. He wasn’t even sure where he belonged. But life had bigger plans for him. The message is simple yet powerful: Yo...

  There are some movies that don’t just entertain us… they hold us. They wrap their wings around the tired parts of our heart and remind us that softness still exists in the world. Secret of the Wings is one such movie for me.                                                      I’ve always turned to animated films whenever the real world felt too sharp, too loud, too demanding. There’s something healing about watching stories where emotions are pure, friendships are honest, and the world—no matter how magical—still feels kinder than the one outside my window. And among all those films, Secret of the Wings remains a quiet sanctuary I go back to. A Story That Feels Like Warmth on a Cold Day The movie follows Tinker Bell, our ever-curious fairy, who crosses into the mysterious Winter Woods only to discover she has a sister—Periwinkle. A sister sh...

  Some movies don’t just entertain us—they become a part of who we are. For me, the Jurassic franchise has always held that place. As a die-heart fan , every new film feels like a door opening back into a world I’ve loved since childhood. But Jurassic Rebirth brings something deeper— a pain, a perspective, a voice from the dinosaurs themselves , reminding us of the beauty of nature’s original creation and the consequences of bringing it back again and again.                                                A Story That Echoes Through Time Whenever a Jurassic movie arrives, my heart rushes back to memories of giant creatures walking the earth—especially that iconic moment when the long-tailed Brachiosaurus rises high above the trees, its tail sweeping slowly like a mountain breathing. That scene is etched into my soul. But this time, Jurassic Rebirth makes me t...

  🌿 Opening Thoughts At its heart, Mirai is a bold blend of Indian myth, superhero tropes and visual spectacle. Directed by Karthik Gattamneni and starring Teja Sajja, Manchu Manoj & others, the film takes the familiar “underdog discovers destiny” arc and enfolds it in a grand fantasy-adventure setting.                                     If you come in searching for something quiet, contemplative or slice-of-life, this is not it. But if you’re open to being transported into a mythic, visually rich universe—then it offers plenty to admire. 🎬 What the Story Does Mirai opens in the wake of the historic Emperor Ashoka’s transformation after the Kalinga war: he entrusts nine sacred grandhas (scriptures) with the power to turn mortals into deities. Fast forward to the present: a villain named Mahabir Lama (Manchu Manoj) has already captured eight of the nine, and the hero Vedha (Te...

  After a long wait and a promising trailer, Thammudu (2025) hit theatres with high expectations. Carrying the emotional weight of a brother-sister bond and the intensity of a survival-action drama, the film promised to be both heartfelt and thrilling . However, despite a strong premise and sincere performances, Thammudu (2025) struggles to find a consistent tone — balancing family sentiment, action spectacle, and emotional drama without truly excelling in any one. 💥 The Storyline The movie revolves around Arjun (Nithiin) , a carefree yet loving brother whose world revolves around his younger sister (played by Laya). When tragedy strikes and she goes missing during a mysterious expedition, Arjun embarks on a dangerous mission to rescue her. The plot takes viewers through emotional family moments, intense chases, and survival-driven action sequences in rugged terrains. While the first half builds the emotional setup, the second half transitions into a full-fledged rescue dr...

 There’s a fresh breeze blowing through Indian cinema — one that carries myth, scale and a female superhero at its heart. Lokah – Chapter 1: Chandra, directed by Dominic Arun and starring Kalyani Priyadarshan, steps confidently into this space. As Malayalam cinema’s first big-budget female-led superhero film, it sets out to build a universe, not just tell a single story. In this review I’ll walk you through what works, what doesn’t, and why this film matters — especially in the context of regional Indian cinema aiming for global ambition. Synopsis (Spoiler-free) Chandra (Kalyani Priyadarshan) is a young woman whose life takes a dramatic turn when she discovers extraordinary powers and an ancestral legacy. She’s drawn into a web of ancient mythology, urban corruption, and a city that becomes as much a character as she is. When a ruthless officer and systemic injustice emerge, Chandra must embrace her destiny and fight to reclaim balance.  What Works ✅ 1. Bold World-Buildin...
